Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped
The compact spare is for temporary emergency use only.You can identify if your vehicle is equipped
with a compact spare by looking at the spare tire description on the Tire and Loading Information
Placard located on the driver's side door opening or on the sidewall of the tire. Compact spare tire
descriptions begin with the letter "T" or "S" preceding the size designation. Example: T145/
80D18 103M.
T, S = Temporary Spare Tire
Since this tire has limited tread life, the original equipment tire should be repaired (or replaced)
and reinstalled on your vehicle at the first opportunity.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel,
since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tire. Do not install more than one
compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
Compact spares are for temporary emergency use only. With these spares, do not drive more
than 50 mph (80 km/h). Temporary use spares have limited tread life. When the tread is worn
to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow
the warnings, which apply to your spare. Failure to do so could result in spare tire failure and loss
of vehicle control.

equipped tire on the front or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. This spare tire may have limited
tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use full size spare tire
needs to be replaced. Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or repair)
the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited-Use Spare — If Equipped
